In Northern Ireland, it will begin at 10.50pm.

That's all from us. Now, tile for the news where you

been arrested, accused of r`pin dwrks a teenager at `` raping a

teenager at the Reading Festival. The alleged assault is said to have

happened last night in a caravan. Music and sunshine in Reading. It

has been overshadowed by a report of rape on the site last night. It is

very rare it happens. The reassurance is the speed of which

the security people were able to assist the young lady and apprehend

the two people and put them into the police cells ` it is reassurance, I

think, that we are incredibly concerned about this sort of thing.

90,000 people are here over the weekend, many youngsters celebrating

GCSE and A level results. Looking after them, 800 security st`ff w the

backing of officers from Th`mes Valley police. It is an isolated

case. The two people we havd in custody are not normal festhval aten

dees. There should be no hehghtened threat to anyone attending the

festival. Please enjoy yourselves. Organisers say everything is being

done to make sure that that can happen.

A father from East London h`s been jailed for a minimum of 24 xears

after paying a drug addict to kill his wife so he could continte an

extramarital affair. Mohamed Ali agreed to pay Frederick Best ?1 000

to murder Amina Bibi at thehr home in Forest Gate. She was stabbed more

than 70 times and found by her son in a pool of blood. Best must serve

a minimum of 30 years in prhson A landlord from Hendon has bedn fined

for renting out a room in a loft which could only be accessed by

crawling into it. The tenants, who had to be on their hands and knees

were paying ?420 a month. The landlord was fined ?1500 at

Willesden Magistrates' Court. It was the second time he had been caught

for renting the room. A strike by Tube drivers has caused

major disruption for travellers on the central and Waterloo City

lines. The action was called by ASLEF, who accused managers of

bullying its members. A clahm which is strongly denied. The strhke is

due to end in around an hour`and`a`half. Let's get lore

details from our corresponddnt who is outside Notting Hill gatd

station. Well, the strike is still affecting

people trying to get across London tonight. The Central line is now

totally shut, as is the Watdrloo City line.

Confusion in Northolt ` a closed station and no trains. Here a packed

bus was the only way out. It was the same story at the other end of the

line. I'm going to be late. I'm going to be pretty late, actually. I

don't know when I'll be abld to get to work. Where I live the only line

is the Central line. I need to get to Bank. It is not easy when the

Central line does not run. Ht is key to ten tire, well, you, feeding the

whole of that City. It is pretty annoying. Parts of either end of the

line have been running slowly. Trains have come every 15 mhnutes or

so. Here in central London, it is closed up ` no trains running at

all. ASLEF, the union which represents train drivers sax drivers

are on staff because of bad management. I have seen casds where

people, in vulnerable situation who are off sick, have left meetings

with management in tears. Unfortunately there seems to be a

bullying culture among management on the Central line. A culture which

does not value people, but thinks the only way to manage people is

using a big stick. There is definitely not a bullying ctlture on

the Central line. We have managements and we have used those

processes. We have had disctssions about the concerns that the trade

union have raised. We have offered solutions. The frustration for many

passengers is they didn't know about the strike. I just found out now the

train is not working. It is a disaster. Only when I came this

morning, I became aware. I didn t know about that. I didn't know! I

don't mind because of solid`rity with the strikes. How do yot feel

about the strike? What do you think? If TFL and the union cannot come to

an agreement soon, commuters can expect to go through this again next

month. Yes, well the strike ends at

midnight. As you hear there, if an agreement is not reached, there ll

be more strikes next month. We are set for more travel disrupthon this

weekend, with the Notting Hhll Carnival, that starts on Sunday If

we look at this map here, inside this red boundary it will all be

closed to traffic from 7am on Sunday until midnight and again on Monday.

The main route, such as the West way will remain open. It will bd busiest

than normal. There'll be disruption with bus routes affected and

restrictions on Tube stations in the area. Of course, you can kedp

up`to`date on our radio station 94.9 and of course on our wdbsite,

at the usual address. Back to you. Some really important travel

information there. Thank yot very much for that. Tomorrow, a lemorial

is being unveiled in Willesden green for Charles Garforth. He was a

22`year`old soldier who fought in the First World War and was awarded

the Victoria Cross after he saved an entire squadron while he was under

enemy fire. It took place 100 years ago tomorrow. His family will be

among those paying tribute to a true war hero.

That's it from me tonight. Let's find out what the weather whll be

like. We have the Notting Hhll Carnival. A lot of people whth their

fingers crossed for a Carnival. A lot of people whth their

upper teens for the Home Cotnties. This low pressure out across the

Atlantic will bring us the cloud and rain as we head into Bank Holiday

Monday. On Sunday there is ` ridge of high pressure in control. Another

fine day after a chilly start. Temperatures will slowly rise up to

around 19`20 Celsius once again Winds staying light too. Good for

Saturday and Sunday. Turning cloudier with outbreaks of rain on

Bank Holiday Monday. cloudier with outbreaks of rain on
